Subject: avahi: Support local-only services via the loopback interface

Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:34:31 +0100

Package: avahi
Version: 0.7-4
Severity: wishlist



Please take a look at

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1736757

https://github.com/tillkamppeter/ippusbxd

and

https://lists.debian.org/debian-printing/2018/09/msg00129.html

Would it be possible to apply this patch to the Debian version of
avahi?

Exposing the printer on localhost fits the IPP-over-USB standard
and would also enhance the printing system to take advantage of a
recent change in CUPS which is not possible without the facility.

Thanks, but please get the patch from here:

https://github.com/OpenPrinting/ippusbxd

or

https://github.com/lathiat/avahi/issues/125

Your links were my first post of ippusbxd right after my GSoC student 
has done this project, long before I decided to move the OpenPrinting 
projects to GitHub.

My links above are the official upstream place of ippusbxd and the 
feature request to Avahi upstream.

Both these have the complete patch, so please only use these ones.

We'll consider cherry-picking the patch once it has been reviewed and
applied upstream.

I've taken your changes from https://salsa.debian.org/ah/avahi,
reverted everything that would need a trip through NEW for now, and
made it available as
https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/avahi/-/merge_requests/1.
It seems to work. I also applied some fixes from upstream git
(which hopefully fix #876107), and proposed a patch to undo a Python 3
regression caused by that change.

The new upstream release includes local-only services via the loopback
interface (#909564).

https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/avahi/-/merge_requests/2 follows
up on that by disabling the Python 2 binding and enabling the Python 3
binding (#853239, #936173). This needs a trip through NEW.

I think the best plan for releasing this is probably to release 0.8-1
with Python 2 bindings to get some testing, and then a 0.8-2 that goes
through NEW and switches to Python 3.

I'm not sure whether to enable the libevent main loop binding as part
of that same trip through NEW, or keep it disabled until/unless someone
actually asks for it. Unless anyone knows of a potential user, I think
it might be a bit better to decouple Avahi from other package ecosystems
by leaving the libevent integration disabled until it's needed (and by
similar logic, I don't intend to enable the Qt 5 main loop integration
unless someone asks for it).

   [ Simon McVittie ]
   * Summarize significant upstream changes above

     Make avahi-discover work for both Python 2 and Python 3
     (hopefully Closes: #876107)
   * Replace stage1 build-profile with nopython and pkg.avahi.nogui
   * Set avahi user's home directory to /run/avahi-daemon for new installs.
     For existing installations, it continues to be the
     equivalent-but-deprecated /var/run/avahi-daemon.
   * Add Build-Depends-Package to all .symbols files
   * Don't explicitly link --as-needed.
     This is the default in bullseye toolchains anyway.
   * Use dpkg's default.mk
   * Enable full compiler hardening
   * Remove migration path from obsolete avahi-dbg package.
     It was most recently shipped before Debian 9 'stretch', and we don't
     support skipping a version when upgrading.
   * Build-depend on python2.
     We don't actually need Python development files here, just the
     interpreter itself.
   * d/rules: Make install invocations not require fakeroot.
     The default for install(1) is 0755, root:root if running as root, or
     0755 without ownership changes if running as an unprivileged user.
     Under Rules-Requires-Root: no, we cannot explicitly chown a file,
     but having it owned by the build user during build results in it being
     owned by root:root in the .deb, which is what we want anyway.
   * Set Rules-Requires-Root to no
   * Standards-Version: 4.5.0 (no changes required)
   * Move to debhelper-compat 12.
   * Don't explicitly stop avahi-daemon.service in prerm.
     The dh_installsystemd infrastructure handles this now. We do still mask
     the service, since dh_installsystemd doesn't prevent D-Bus activation.
   * Add ${misc:Pre-Depends} to all packages
   * Add a patch to force a specific service type database format.
     It was traditionally a gdbm database in Debian, but v0.8's build-db,
     when run under Python 2, prefers dbhash (bsddb).
   * d/avahi-autoipd.preinst: Remove transitional code from pre-stretch

I think that this has now been done. Would applying it in buster be a
possibility?
